by snow caps. In many ways it reminds one of Estes Park . The flowers are beautiful & abundant, the hotel delightfully homey & pleasant with the best things to eat & an immense sun-veranda to the south where we have breakfast or lounge or write. The way up from Thusis was by coach & is famous for its grandeur & beauty. The day we came was perfect & we stretched our stiff & aching limbs on the softly cushioned seats & gazed & gazed for the six hour drive. To my relief, the road was wide, smooth & protected along the edge by a stone parapet or heavy fence. It wound along a steep cliff or mountain side with the baby Rhine foaming & dashing below on the other hand, hundreds of feet down, in a narrow chasm. I will enclose a few pictures which will give you a better idea than pen pictures can. The way was exceedingly rich in ruined castles or picturesque chapels — one of these was perched clear above one against the skyline. We passed through picturesque villages too of old old houses, with the peasants raking their hay. We have just rested since arriving, as bones and muscles still creak & groan. (To be continued).
